15 Must-See Hairstyles From the 2016 Grammy Awards

Look no further for the latest hairstyles from the music industry's biggest night.
By Deena Campbell · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Andra Day

We can always count on Andra Day to bring sophistication to any event. Here, the singer brought back the classic French roll with a touch of class. Paired with decorative hairpins, Andra’s look was, without question, a showstopper. Translation: She slayed!

Ciara

Ciara’s loose ponytail with a few tendrils in the front is one of our favorite looks. To master this look, keep in mind, the messier the better.

Zendaya

I don’t care how beautiful you are, not many people can pull off a mullet. But, Zendaya, being the hair chameleon that she is, mastered the look. We’re in LOVE!

Lianne La Havas

The always glamorous, Lianne La Havas’ rocked an updo that was a total knockout on the red carpet. The loose pieces in the back added to her sophisticated look.

MC Lyte

We love when MC Lyte hits the red carpet, because there’s never anything basic about her hair. Here, she masters a braid-shaved sides combo that worked like a charm.

Jazmine Sullivan

Saying that Jazmine Sullivan displayed timeless beauty is an understatement. The singer’s straight hair (paired with bold eyelashes and a red lip) was sheer perfection.
